A website dedicated to hikers

How many times have I stopped in a squalid corner to picnic while an area laid expecting 500 meters away? How many times have I been going door to door begging for water when a drinking fountain was a few pedal strokes? How many times did I have to eat the leftovers lost deep in the countryside, while a grocery store was open in this small village crossed there are 5 minutes away and in which I would never have suspected that there was a trade open on Sundays?

I have done other bike journeys from, be it in Ireland, Saint-Jacques de Compostela, in Brittany, Vendeeetc., and a hike to another, from a conversation the other, I realized that he needed a website to simplify the life of hikers and more livable travels. Whether it's hiking, a boat trip, a round the world bike or a simple family outing, we always need to identify, drinking, eating, to protect or sleep!

The Roulard is born of these reflections. After a development year, he finally emerged. Sure, it has expanded over time, but its primary purpose was never lost sight : simplify hiking daily and allow everyone to feel safe at any time, regardless its activity and wherever it is.

If you want to participate in this adventure, you are welcome! More we will have content more we will be helpful to hikers community.
